h2(#identity). Identity provider
Choose which backend you will use to schedule computation.
* On AWS EC2 and Azure, you probably want to use @arvados-dispatch-cloud@ to manage the full lifecycle of cloud compute nodes: starting up nodes sized to the container request, executing containers on those nodes, and shutting nodes down when no longer needed.
-* For on-premise HPC clusters using "slurm":https://slurm.schedmd.com/ use @crunch-dispatch-slurm@ to execute containers with slurm job submissions.
+* For on-premises HPC clusters using "slurm":https://slurm.schedmd.com/ use @crunch-dispatch-slurm@ to execute containers with slurm job submissions.
+* For on-premises HPC clusters using "LSF":https://www.ibm.com/products/hpc-workload-management/ use @crunch-dispatch-lsf@ to execute containers with slurm job submissions.
* For single node demos, use @crunch-dispatch-local@ to execute containers directly.

For a small demo installation, it is possible to run all the Arvados services on a single node. Special considerations for single-node installs will be noted in boxes like this.
The following services are normally public-facing and require DNS entries and corresponding TLS certificates. Get certificates from your preferred TLS certificate provider. We recommend using "Let's Encrypt":https://letsencrypt.org/. You can run several services on the same node, but each distinct DNS name requires a valid, matching TLS certificate.
This guide uses the following DNS name conventions. A later part of this guide will describe how to set up Nginx virtual hosts.
+It is possible to use custom DNS names for the Arvados services.
